I fitted MK 2's NOS in 1970 now with 300+k miles, not a lot of difference until fitting open pipes then 130 + and surprised my son. He borrowed it after passing his test at Bodmin and came home saying he wanted to show the testers at Bodmin, after came home didn't say much as he did all the local lads bikes de-resticting them and tuning them, they were pretty nippy for the lanes, three months later we had are local steam rally and I fitted the open pipes and removed panniers etc , he took it out with mate pillion and did Liskeard bypass, turning his head wearing motocross helmet & goggles had the goggles blown round to the side, fastest he'd ever been. Now 170mph is nothing for him.
